This design does have fractional stitches, but please don’t let those frighten you away from this cute cross stitch pattern. They’re not too difficult, I promise. It’s also a great opportunity to give evenweave or linen stitching a try if you haven’t yet. (Here’s a handy guide to help you, if it’s your first time using those types of fabrics.)
Enjoy and happy stitching!
This beautifully colored rainbow rose cross stitch pattern from Mucky Musings would make a beautiful gift or just a fun weekend stitching project.

You’ll also find a few other little free cross stitch patterns available on the download page, including two other roses and a marigold pattern.

I like comic books and super heros and I like cross stitching, so I sort of love this fun Super Emma Super Stitcher freebie from DMC!

Happy Stitching my super stitcher friends!

You’ll find this fun and swirly holiday tree as a free pattern in Helena’s shop on Craftsy. The pattern is 109w X 159h in size, so it’s perfect for framing or gift giving 🙂 It also makes for a great beginner project with basic cross stitching and just a handful of colors.
Update 10/25/2020: This pattern was previously available free on Craftsy, but that platform has undergone many changes over the last year or so and no longer works that way for independent designers to share their work. That said, while no longer free, the pattern is currently affordably available in Helena’s Etsy shop.
Enjoy and happy stitching!
It’s funny how amazing things pop up when you didn’t even know you were looking for them. I was poking around looking for something else entirely while having sewing machine troubles, and these stunning poppies came up in the search results. And then I saw the pattern was free! It’s printing as I type.

Yes, this is really a free pattern. No, I’m not joking. Go get it at Craftsy right now!
Happy Stitching
These cute and mildly spooky spiders from Stitched Modern are a quick and easy to stitch Halloween project.

The spider webs are drawn onto the fabric in the project they show, but you could stitch yours if you prefer. Some metallic thread or some blending filament would make for a fun web. You’ll find the pattern and project idea instructions on the Stitched Modern blog [here].
The only thing about this one is I’m not a fan of gluing the fabric to the embroidery hoop, which is what they recommend in their post with the patterns. If you cut away all the fabric and glue it to the hoop like they do in their example, you can’t adjust it later or re-mount it in a different hoop if something unexpected happens.
I prefer lacing the fabric onto the hoop and covering the back in some way, but leaving enough excess fabric tucked away that you can adjust or re-frame the project later if you need / want to.
This video from Peacock & Fig shows how to attach the stitching to the embroidery hoop without gluing it, as well as how to add some felt backing. There are also written instructions to accompany this on their blog [here].
Enjoy and happy stitching! 🙂
This cute freebie from PrimitiveBettys has a lot of great elements, and sunflowers are one of my favorite things ever.

If you’re not a fan of the PSL, that’s okay. This pattern is still adorable and you can call it a mug of hot chocolate instead 😉
Enjoy and happy stitching!
This free cross stitch pattern from The Homesteady is cute, fun, and a little sassy. I love it so ridiculously much. Appropriate both as a fun Halloween themed piece and as a bit of a subversive message to that guy in the office who keeps calling everyone ‘boo’ … don’t be that guy.
